IMF Staff Country Reports

Mozambique showed considerable resilience to the global crisis. The government responded to the crisis by promptly easing macroeconomic policies. The Policy Support Instrument (PSI) provided an effective and flexible framework to guide policies during the crisis, and program performance has been strong. Donor support was temporarily halted over governance concerns, but has resumed. Mozambique’s economic performance and track record of macroeconomic stability over the last decade and a half have been impressive, making the country a prime example of a mature stabilizer.
